Pros & Cons
- ✅ This is unbelievably good. I have a tester from c2006. If the older version is any better I feel like I would just die.
- ✅ The most beautiful floral chypre that I have ever worn. Starts out very floral with rose dominant and lots of aldehydes. Dries down very dry and full of a smooth, nonsharp or bitter oakmoss with creamy leather.
- ✅ Sikkim is truly unforgettable high-class fragrance.
- ✅ I am overwhelmed by the beauty of this floral chypre! The beginning bitter green opening seems to go through a slightly soapy phase before the leather and florals begin to emerge.
- ❌ The new formulation sadly isn't a patch on the original. Still a very lovely fragrance, but lacking the richness of the original.
- ❌ even if sikkim lovers will hate me i have to tell about this traumatic adventure i had with this. i smelled once on the bottle of an original Sikkim from the early 1970s ... it was the strongest, oily, awful nauseatic heady spicy earthy soapy scent i ever smellt... all notes here were completaly over-overdone, my eyes began becoming wet and i could hardly stop sneezing.
- ❌ even if sikkim lovers will hate me i have to tell about this traumatic adventure i had with this. ... it was the strongest, oily, awful nauseatic heady spicy earthy soapy scent i ever smellt... my stomach rebelled against this monster.
